SYNOPSIS

Dry but blustery conditions today, along with unseasonably chilly conditions. Temperatures rebound Thursday as high pressure sets up south of New England. Dry Thursday night through part of Friday. Quick shot of light rain late Friday into early Saturday. Active pattern continues late on Saturday into early next week, but lots of uncertainty on how things evolve at this point.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/

315 AM update...

* Dry but blustery and chilly today

Mean trough axis and core of CAA moves offshore early this morning.
Therefore, brunt of cold air and blustery WNW winds occur this morning, easing this afternoon as subtle height rises occur over SNE. This will result in winds shifting from WNW to WSW this afternoon.

Cold predawn with temps in the upper 20s and lower 30s, but blustery WNW winds up to 30 mph at times, yielding wind chills in the teens.
Thus, bundle up this morning. Highs only recover to 35-40 this morning, but not as harsh as yesterday given winds easing this afternoon along with some sunshine as well.

As winds shift to the WSW this afternoon, residual cold boundary layer streaming over relatively mild SSTs via WSW winds, expecting lots of strato-cu clouds impacting Cape Cod and the Islands later this afternoon. Given the steep low level lapse rates, some ocean effect rain/snow showers likely per hi res guidance across this area.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/

315 AM update...

Wednesday night...

Height rises continue across SNE, promoting dry weather. Light WSW winds, decreasing clouds and a dry airmass will support good radiational cooling. Therefore blended in some of the colder MOS guidance to derive min temps, which yields lows in the 20s regionwide, including a few upper teens for western MA.

During the evening hours, leftover cold boundary layer streaming across the mild SSTs via WSW winds, may support some leftover rain/snow showers for Cape Cod and the Islands, then moving offshore late evening and overnight. Otherwise, dry weather prevails.

Thursday...

Short wave ridging advects across the area, yielding a nice day with dry weather. Sunshine in the morning may mix with some afternoon clouds in the WAA pattern, but overall very pleasant with temps rebounding into the mid and upper 40s. Less wind than previous days with SW winds 10-15 mph, a few gusts up to 20 mph possible Cape Cod and the Islands.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/

Highlights

* Dry and quiet weather Thu night through much of Fri.

* Quick shot of light rain later on Fri into early Sat.

* Active pattern late Sat into early next week. Exact details uncertain at this point.

Thursday Night through early Friday...

Height rises through much of this period as a shortwave ridge builds from the Low/Mid Mississippi River Valley Thu evening into New England by Fri afternoon before shifting offshore. High pressure nudges in from offshore of the Southeast US through much of this period, but shifts further offshore on Fri.

Dry and quiet weather expected through this period with high pressure in control and with height rises until our next system begins sliding in later on Fri. Temperatures will be a bit milder than normal for this time of year due to prolonged SWly warm air advection. Should see temps at 925 hPa between 2-8 degrees C. This translates to lows generally in the 30s Thu Night. On Fri, highs top out in the 40s across the interior and low/mid 50s for the coastal plain.

Only potential weather impact during this timeframe is we will have a tightened pressure gradient in place due to the exiting high and incoming system. There is roughly a 20-40 kt SW low level jet at 925 hPa sliding through Thu Night into early Fri. This may result in some higher gusts, but have lowered from the default NBM. Appears to be running too high per analysis of Bufkit profiles per the NAM/GFS.

Later on Friday into early Saturday...

A progressive deamplifying shortwave lifts from the Mid Mississippi River Valley early on Fri into the eastern Great Lakes by late Fri.
The wave quickly lifts into Nova Scotia by early Sat. A fast moving frontal system slides through the region during this period.

Relatively benign system sliding through during this period.
Guidance continues to trend downward on the strength of the system as a deamplifying shortwave lifts in. Could see perhaps up to 0.25 inches of QPF when it is all said in done. Heaviest rains should be Fri eve into very early Sat AM and tapering off quickly. Only change to the forecast was to alter precip chances on the front and back end. The default NBM appears to be a bit too fast with the initial shot of precip given the drier air that needs to be overcome and ramping things a bit faster with the wave quickly swinging through.

Later on Saturday into early next week...

Active pattern with several potential shortwaves/troughs lifting into and through the region as flow becomes more cyclonic. Hard to time specific disturbances along with there intensity and locations at this point. Given the spread amongst deterministic and ensemble guidance, and lack of run to run consistency, have stuck with the NBM.

The result are chances of precipitation from late Sat through early next week, but not anticipating it to be precipitating the whole time. The largest negative 500 height anomalies per the GEFS/EPS and GEPS come early next week. This matches up with CPCs latest 8-14 day hazard outlook with a slight chance for high winds on Dec 6. Stay tuned for future updates.
